Hi all,

I ordered my X-Type in September of 2001 and took delivery in December of 2001 (it's a 2002 model). It's got black metallic paint and a gray interior, looks awesome.

Over the years my commute has ranged from very short to zero, so even with a nice long road trip every year there are only about 40,000 miles on the car and it's in excellent shape.

I was thinking about buying a new car, but with all the automotive changes coming down the pipeline it seems that keeping my Jag for a few more years might be the best thing to do. As a result I've been catching up on a few little things that needed to be done and this forum has been a big help in answering some questions. I look forward to becoming an active participant.

Welcome,

Good X-Type section here, lots of sharp people! I had an 02 sport with a manual. I regret every day selling it.

Best,

Mine is also a manual transmission. I seem to remember hearing that the X-Type is the only Jag with a manual option? Also, the only Jag with AWD. It really hugs the road like the proverbial cat.

Tiger88 - Welcome, I noticed a post of yours today on the X-Type Forum. Which part of CA are you in, the top, middle or bottom bit?

Rob,
I live in Marin County, San Francisco Bay Area. Marin is the first county on the north side of the Golden Gate Bridge. It's a really nice place to live, but kind of expensive.
